Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -TSH is a peptide hormone produced by the anterior pituitary. It consists of two chains: an alpha chain and a beta chain. It has a molecular mass of approximately 28, 000 Da. The composition is very similar to other glycoprotein hormones made by the anterior pituitary.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hypothalamus releases thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) that stimulates the secretion of TSH in the pituitary gland. Increased free T4 and T3 inhibit the release of TRH and TSH through a negative feedback loop.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH): TSH stimulates your thyroid to produce thyroid hormones that manage your metabolism, energy levels and your nervous system.
